In plain words
There are some who have no one to turn to; they live alone, with no parents, no kin and no friends. To such people we ourselves must be brothers. We must talk with them warmly. ‘My dear! Have you no brothers? No sisters? Here I am, a brother to you. Here I am, a sister to you’: saying this, we must give them heart and encouragement. All of us are children of one Father! That very Father is God. So we must recognise the brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God, and live accordingly. We who are God's children must move among one another like brothers and sisters. That does not mean we have to hand over any property. We must greet the person before us with good words, and love him from the heart.
God is the embodiment of Prema. By His Prema alone He protects the people. Prema alone is enough: where it is, we all become one. We must give no room to words or acts that push anyone away from us. Through Prema we must draw everyone close. Then God will draw you close to Him. When you look on others with love, God looks on you with love. In no circumstances whatever must we show anger, envy, vanity, ostentation and the like. We must not behave in a way that makes others loathe us or rouses their anger. Having tasted our Prema, others should develop Prema within themselves. If we keep loving them, they will go on loving us. If we show anger towards them, they too will show anger towards us. When a man begging alms comes to the front of our house and says, “Lady, give alms,” if we, with love, “My dear! Wait,” tell him, go inside and bring him a little food, he is filled with joy.
God gave us this birth only so that we would sustain one another
Once a war broke out in Rangoon. Many died in that war. In one family only two were left, a mother and her son. They escaped from there and made their way to Madras. The mother would seat her son in one spot, go from house to house begging, and bring back what she got and give it to him.
